Annual report
99.Paragraph 18 requires the adjudicator to publish an annual report after each financial year and send it to the Scottish Ministers (this may mean that the first annual report covers a shorter period than one year, depending on when the office of adjudicator is established). The Scottish Ministers must lay a copy of each annual report before the Scottish Parliament. This will bring the report to the attention of the Parliament (including to relevant committees) and allow further scrutiny as appropriate.
